Storing Loose-Leaf Tea Properly: Keeping Your Herbs Fresh & Potent
A great cup of tea starts long before the water begins to boil. Properly storing your loose-leaf tea helps preserve the flavor, aroma, and natural qualities of every blend, so each cup tastes just as enjoyable as the first.
At Tribal Tea, our herbal blends are hand-packed in reusable metal tins designed to help protect your tea from light and everyday exposure. To keep your blends at their best, simply store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Avoid keeping your tea near the stove or refrigerator, where changing temperatures and humidity can affect the herbs over time.
Keeping the lid tightly sealed after each use also helps lock in the vibrant aromas of blends like Hibiscus-Peppermint, Cinnamon-Apricot, and Juniper-Berry. Since all of our teas are naturally caffeine-free herbal blends, preserving the freshness of the herbs allows their unique flavors to shine in every cup.
When it’s time to brew, using our steeper spoon makes it easy to measure the perfect amount of loose-leaf tea, while our brewing basket gives the herbs plenty of room to expand as they steep, allowing for a full, flavorful infusion.
With just a few simple storage habits, you can enjoy fresh, delicious tea from your very first scoop to your very last. And when your tin is empty, simply refill it with your favorite Tribal Tea blend and keep the tradition brewing.
